They currently run a bad-ass heatsink (which is one of the main challenges of this project, i.e., how to cool it), but eventually you will use that heat to convert it into electricity, yes.

For the German-speaking crowd here, the Alternativlos podcast guys were there twice and had lengtly conversations with the researchers there. Like, between nerds. Really cool, if you understand the language.

Omega Tau also visited and talked with some of the researchers and has a great podcast episode on it (and truth be told, all of their episodes are great).
